The Old Fight BeGweea Randall and

CHICAGO, May The Nelrs' Wash.
iueton special says: The talk Of ap
proachino trouble between the Randall
aud Carlisle fsrcea has been renewed.
IL il generally believed that the oFQani-
cation Of the Fiftieth Congress will be
the liveliest known for many years.
An effort 10 10 be made by the Carlisle
free traders TO threw Randall and his
protectionalists overheard. They are
disonsted with him on account of his
tariff work and his acts as Chairman Of
the Committee On Appropriations aud
cay be must be deposed and that be has
too much power. The Randall men are
saying that they intend 10 have more
positions than the Craftsmanship OF the
Committee on Appropriations or they
will join the Republicans in the election
OF Speaker. They prefer eonserva-
tive Republican FROM one OF the prairie
states TO Democrat who discriminates
against the leading men Of his Owu
party simply because they entertain DIFF
fereRt views 90 the tariff.

The Wool Growers Issue q Circular.
Mr. VERNON, O., Dec. q

MT. VERNON, o., Dec. 25.
circular issued to the wool growers of
the United States, calling their attention to
the Presidents recommendation of the abo-
lition of the duty on wool and the unfavora-
Bile effect of the tariff of 1883. The circu-
lar says;
The officers of your national society de-
sire to organize resistance to the cruel at
tempt to ruin our industry to secure its de-
feat by active and consolidated resistance.
We advise wool growers to petition Congress
freely from all parts of the country. send
letters TO Congressman from every district,
have each association of wool growers, State,
county, township or town. pass forward ap-
propriate resolutions, incite grangers or as
sociations of husbandmen to unite their voices
in urging Congress to promote the welfare
of agriculture and enfranchised freemen
that they may obtain justice and avoid op-
preston by making those in author
ify understand their wants. If you
have lot large or consolidated wealth
YOU have votes. Exercise wisely the power
this privilege gives. The founders of our
republic placed in the hands of the people
the power to correct the errors of those who
make or administer laws without insurrec-
ton or violence. The executive has been
misinformed. To remove the deception let
him and t e country know that you will not
submit to the proposed injustice without a
resolute struggle.

GREAT STRIKE INAUGURATED
Among the Employees of the Coal Trans
portation Companies.

READING, Pa, Dec. 25
Over $500 loaded coal cars were made up
into SO trains and passed through Reading
from the Schuylkil coal region for Port
Richmond and other points south of this city.
last Sunday, but today there was not single
car moved.
The coal trade is particularly dead. Dur
ing the forenoon, over one hundred railroad
ers, whose trains are on sdings north and
south of the city, passed through Reading,
bound home.
Orders to strike were received early this
morning. As far as the railroad crews were
concerned it was promptly obeyed. General
Manager Mcleod Immediately telegraphed
that every engine attached to the trains lying
on sidings be housed and guarded. This
was Immediately done, the engines being run
to Reading, Pottstown and other donts. The
company employs at the shops in this city
about two thousand men. They will not go
out as they claim they are not included i'll
in the order of the Knights to strike. The
leaders in this city expect such orders soon.
however.
The agents of the Reading Company today
actively canvassed this section for men to fill
the places of the strikers and enable them to
resume the movements of trains Tuesday
forenoon.
Master Workman Hawmsn has sent tele-
gram notifying all the assemblies of the de-
cision to strike.

not been placed in cell. He is very hope

will know just how the bank people feel
towards him. The State of Maine, so far,
has taken no official notice Of his capture.
This is taken here to mean that the State OH

years of age, arrived at the Halifax Hotel,
and registered as s'Charles Cooper, Boston,
Mass" Later in the day, he stated to the
hotel clerks that he expected nephew on
the Allan steamer Polynesian, due on Satur-
day from Liverpool, and requested to be no.
tilted the moment the ship was signalied. At
the same time he engaged room for his al
legged nephew and stated that the latter would
remain at the Hotel for three or four weeks.
The Polynesian reached port Sunday after
noon, and the man known as Charles Cooper,
met his nephew at the wharf and accompa-
MED him to the hotel. The alleged uncle
was none other than McNeally's brother, and
the nephew was Frank C. himself. The
next morning the brother took his departure
and it is believed that he returned to Maine,
taking with him every one of the stolen bonds
or at least all the dishonest teller had in his
possession.
McNeally's effects consisted of the contents
of Gladstone trunk, a large lot of new
clothing, much of which was distributed
carelessly about the apartment, and splen-
did new gun of improved pattern. The con-
tents of the trunk consisted principally of
clothes, but McNeallys immense wardrobe
was more than the one piece of luggage
could contain, and great deal of it must
have been carried about in packages. The
clothing embraced about dozen full suits,
made in the latest and most fashionable style
and of the finest materials.
There were half a dozen new overcoats of
the finest texture, a profusion of the most
elegant silk underwear, and stylish neckties
innumerable. The fugitive had a stock of
clothes that would last him long time, and,
with other circumstances, afford evidence
enough to show that he had been spending
money pretty nearly as fast as he possibly
could

TIE GLASS WORKERS
Propose to Establish Z Business Of Their
Own.
Judge Bailey Rules that Minors Cannot
Join the Union.

PrITsBURG, Dec. 25.
The flint glass workers union whose mem
bers are on a strike have purchased for
900 factory near East Liverpool, Ohio.
At the outset 80 men will be employed and
additions made if the business increases.
The factory will be under the direct super
vision of the union and the profits turned in
to its treasury. The union is also negotiat-
ing for another factory, and the establishment
of still another at Canton is not unlikely. A
resident of that town called at the union
yesterday and said he had SIS 900 TO invest.
The strikers have given up all hopes of
compromise and are preparing for long
fight.
In the county court Yesterday Judge Bal
ley gave the boy apprentice employed at
the glass factory week to return to work
or suffer sentence. The boys defence was
that he though, he was discharged because
he joined the labor union that entered the
strike. The judge decided that boy appren-
tees could not join the union.

SHERMAN STEPS OUT.
He Will Not Oppose Blaine in the Pres
idential Race.

New York, Dec. "a.
The New York Worlds Washington cor
respondent says that is whispered among
well-informed republicans that Senator John
sherman has pulled out of the Presidential
race. The story as told is to the effect that
Senator John Sherman. while at Justice
Fields dinner, which was given early last
week, unbosomed himself to his table COM
panons. They in turn let their intimate
friends know what the Ohio Senator had
sand, and thus his intentions gradually leaked
into wider circle. Senator Sherman is
quoted as saying that the political
situation in his own party had become SO
clearly defined that he saw il inevitable that
Mr. Blaine would be renominated. With
full recognition of the handwriting on the
wall he had determined not to allow his name
to 20 before the convention as a candidate
When the matter was further discussed SEN
ator Sherman declared that he was not sore
or disappointed in his ambition, since he
had regarded the year 1854 as really his last
chance to attain the Presidency, and had
settled down into contentment with his place
in the Senate, where he felt that his six
years service yet to be rendered would
about round out his public career.
There is cOrrobrative evidence that Sena-
tor Sherman has given up chasing the phan-
tom of the Presidency in the growing actiyi-
to among the friends of Governor Foraker
TO secure him place on the ticket with Mr..
Blaine. As long as Sherman was in the
field for first place the Foraker following
was kept in restraint, the governor appreci-
ating the fact that, as the younger man he
could only secure what he desired by playing
a waiting game. An open candidacy on his
part would have ruptured his relations with
sherman and divided the solidity of the
Ohio organization with the result of leaving
both men in the cold. Governor Foraker is
said to have received private information of
Shermans purpose soon after President
Cleveland issued his message and Mr.. Blaine
replied.
The same correspondent also says that
the friends of Mr.. Blaine have been en-
deavorng to keep back the information of
Shermans purpose. They do not want him
to withdraw at present, because to do so
is to give an opportunity for the anti-Blaine
sentiment in the party to crystalline on some
other man. The antagonsm of the Cornell
Conkling, Platt and Arthur factions in New
York to Sherman, has made it practically
impossible for him to become the recipient
of the united anti-Blaine force. Some other
man might prove stronger, and hence the
Blaine men, being advised of his purpose to
withdraw are said to be using their influence
to induce him to keep his name at least in
the race until about convention time.

BROKEN UP.
The q. s. Steamer Enterprise Discovers
the Remnants Of the Big Lumber Raft.

NEW LONDON, Ct, Dec. 25.
The L. S. steamer Enterprise, Capt. Nc
Culla. arrived this afternoon after success
fully searching for the big lumber raft.
/, was abandoned by the Miranda of Nan
tucket shoals. When the Enterprise was l35
miles south east by south from the shoals,
She fell in with An immense number of logs
from the raft, showing that beyond doubt,
the raft was broken up.
The steamer was among the logs all day
and par, of Friday night. Nine logs lashed
together tioated singly and then spread apart
as they travelled with the tide. The logs
